Art & Craft! Nendo’s “Into Marble” Exhibition For Milan Design Week

Milan Design Week is a showcase of art, design, form, and function; and we have seen some unique designs as a result. Today the good folks over at Nendo are back with something new, offering up some unique, eclectic and artistic furniture designs for Design Week. Today we get a look at a striking installation known as “Into Marble” for Italian company Marsotto Edizioni. The Japanese studio offers up a unique appeal and approach, which finds fixtures made of marble creatively teasing perception.

The objects are seen placed on top of what appears to be black rippled water, which looks like the objects are either melting into the liquid or emerging from it. A rep from the Nendo team explained: “The idea for this space originated from Marsotto’s expertise in marble processing, leading to the decision to use marble for the pedestals, as well as the objects presented.” They added, “Since this exhibition showcases linear and sharp furniture, the pedestals were designed in contrasting rounded shapes that resemble puddles.”

Check out this intriguing design in the images below and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Stay tuned for much more from Nendo and from Milan Design Week coming soon.
